Unlike anything else, VR can make you feel like you're transported to a different world. Without a ticket, you can now visit a world-renowned museum, see extinct animals come back to life, or take a field trip to the Taj Mahal. It’s transporting.
Our goal is to make VR for everyone. And with Daydream View everyone can enjoy a comfortable, easy to use, and personalized virtual reality experience.
We’ve been working with developers, smartphone manufacturers, and content creators to make the dream a reality — and now, we’re excited to announce that Daydream View is now available for purchase in India from today.
Pixel, Moto Z and more Daydream-ready phones
With Daydream View, you simply pop a Daydream-ready phone in the headset to start exploring. Daydream-ready phones are built with high-resolution displays, powerful mobile processors and high-fidelity sensors — all tuned to support great VR experiences. Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL are the first Daydream-ready phones, and you can experience Daydream on the Moto Z as well. Later this year, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be Daydream-ready with a software update.
Daydream View, the first Daydream-ready headset and controller
Daydream View is:
- Comfortable. Inspired by the clothes we enjoy wearing, the headset is made with soft, breathable fabric and is designed to fit over eyeglasses.
- Easy to use. Just drop in your Daydream-ready phone and you’ll be ready to go. The phone and headset have an auto-alignment system so you don’t have to worry about cables or connectors.
A big part of what makes Daydream View special is the Daydream controller. This small yet powerful controller lets you interact with the virtual world the same way you do in the real world. It points where you point, and is packed with sensors to understand your movements and gestures. You can swing it like a bat or wave it like a wand. And it’s so precise that you can draw with it. The controller slides right inside the headset when not in use, so you don’t have to worry about losing it in your bag or between couch cushions.
- Yours. Daydream View is designed with choice in mind. The headset fits phones big or small, so it’ll work with any Daydream-ready phone you choose.
